recently my wife's car got nasty scratched from knife. it was parked at my store's parking lot. After thanksgiving I am going to drop off at body shop to fix it. I already got quote and estimate. so pissed me off. Her car got broke in not too long ago also anyways, my question is what if I find person who did it, what can i do? what are you gonna do if you find guy who messed your car?

only legal thing you can do is call the police, have them arrested, testify against them in court. my previous car was vandalized and i almost caught them in the act (got there about 10 seconds after the vandalism).

as i got to my car, i heard of group of people walking away around the corner. i thank the Lord I didn't run into them. it was in a dark garage at night, it was a group of people, and i was alone. who knows if they were armed and/or high on drugs.

besides i won't repay evil for evil. it would make me no better than them if i were vengeful. would i defend myself? of course. revenge/get even/teach them a lesson, no.

logical thing to do is call the police and take pictures of them committing the act. What I would do... I can't say on here. Sorry to hear about the problems hope you get it fixed soon

This ^^^ then have his parents or employer pay for it ... it never pays to take things in ones own hands ... just keep your cool or you end up in jail and he is free to do it all over again and again ,,,

Like most of you, my first impulse is savage. A quart of gas and a road flare comes to mind, but, risking my imprisonment for the revenge of a scratched car doesn't seem like a good deal. Hell, in a court of law, some db attorney would put such a spin on things that you would be the one in trouble really quick, even if you only smashed his face.
Think about those on a jury selection. Are they your peers, or the pos perpetrators?

Unfortunately in the U.S, somehow the guy would turn around and sue you for threatning him or violating his rights or some BS. Put a mask on, hold him hostage and toss him in a lake and let him suffer for a few minutes and call it a day
